I want to provide feed in my merb application. After reading wikipedia, RSSvsAtom and seeing that StackOverflow uses it, I think I will use Atom. What library should I use? I have found rAtom that looks quite good. Are there better alternatives? Or does merb has anything built in to help me?
UPDATE: maybe I should just do the news in plain html and use FeedBurner?

While not Merb specific, you might consider using FeedTools - which is a Ruby Gem.
You'd do something like:
require 'feed_tools' feed = FeedTools::Feed.open('http://url/feed') feed.items.each do |item| puts item.title + "\n---\n" + item.description + "\n\n" endAnyway - check it out at http://sporkmonger.com/projects/feedtools
NOTE: This is for parsing ATOM feeds as I wasn't clear as to whether or not you were looking to provide an ATOM feed or parse others.
rkj : thanks for the answer, but I want to provide feed. -
I went for rAtom and for now, and it works really good - code is minimal and nice.
